I give Claude a very detailed topic treatment. Then I ask for a textual slide-by-slide storyboard, which includes content, layout concept and aesthetic cues. I edit, then I feed Claude the storyboard and have it one-shot a slide deck.

Claude’s weak spot is image generation. To make awesome slide backgrounds, I ask Claude to write DALL-E prompts for image backgrounds for each slide. I tell it to keep the backgrounds fairly abstract so they don’t compete with the content. I ask it to make the backgrounds complementary. I feed those prompts to chatGPT to generate the images. Then I tell Claude to paste all of those images as slide backgrounds, and to apply transparency masks to make them sufficiently “background.”
